Since moving into the mews house, I’m all about interior design and homewares. My bank holiday weekend is even going to be spent exploring the first steps of reupholstering furniture (must find a beautiful chair to start with!).

My inspiration has come from many places – mostly tips from my lovely friend Katie (check out her blog here) and from various hotels from around the world… namely the Firmdale Group ones.

Kit Kemp is the genius behind the Firmdale hotels, and I find them lush. All clashing prints and beautiful lighting, and so much attention to detail. Opening today is a new exhibition space at the Contemporary Applied Arts Gallery in London, of which Kemp has designed a room to illustrate the vast possibilities of commissioning art and craft for the home environment and how it can transform a room.
